Jacobs Experiment

Broad Question

Can I build a magnet motor?

Specific Question

What is the spin rate of a magnet motor?

Variables

Independent Variable: Double A - Triple A - Button Cell

Dependent Variable:Magnet - Battery Holder - Wire


Variables That Need To Be Controlled

The Magnet motor.

I Think the button cell battery will be the most efficient.

Graph of Hypothesis



General Plan


I will be doing an experiment that will help me determine if the type of battery that will change the rate of spinning on a magnet motor. I will be testing my experiment at my house. I will record my data and print it out and bring it to school.


Materials List

Materials
Double a battery
Triple a battery
Cell battery
Magnet
Coiled wire
Battery holder (double a) (cell) (triple a)

Detailed Procedure

Procedure
  1. Test the double a battery
  2. test the cell battery
  3. test the triple a battery
  4. collect data and repeat

Background Research

Background Research

Directions: In order to present yourself as a researcher who is well-educated on their science fair topic, you will need to gain some background information. Add your research to the table below. Be sure to write everything in your own words and cite your sources using oslis.org. You must use at least one book in your research.

1. Information:
The information I got from the book Electricity is information on electromagnet and that earth is like a big magnet negative pointing to the south pole and positive pointing to the north pole.

2. Information:
Static electricity is cause by to opposite type objects rubbing together causing friction if you touch the thing you charged with static and you touched a sink you would feel a shock

3. Information:
One of the worlds rarest magnets is a neodymium magnet it comes from deep inside the earth all magnets have magnetic poles and strength levels and how long they last

What type of metals are attracted to magnet
They taught me to tell how powerful a magnet.
